Charlotte Tilbury Icon Palette
What it is: Charlotte Tilbury The Icon 12-Pan Eye Palette is a limited edition palette featuring nine shimmer shades and three more satin-matte shades. The formula can be used wet or dry, though using them wet achieves a “silk-veil effect,”
Create your own combinations or stick to the 'Day', 'Date', 'Diva' and 'Disco' trios by layering the three shades from each column ( matte, satin and metallic).
I read mixed reviews on Temptalia but I stand by my positive experience with this palette. Some shades may be tricky to work with, but I’d say that 9 out of the 12 shades were a solid 9/10 for me.
I’ve always wanted to try the Charlotte Tilbury Quads but I’d prefer to have the flexibility to create multiple looks instead of a pre-set quad (4) shades. The CT Icon Palette spoke to me on so many levels but I was slightly sceptical at first because there weren’t any matte shades in this palette. In my books, a palette is meant to be inspiring, flexible and it should meet the minimum requirement to complete an eye look.
I was mindblown. The quality of Charlotte Tilbury’s eyeshadow formula is out of this world. It is incomparable. It slides effortlessly on the lids and the highly pigmented formula will make you question yourself this: What took me so long? Have I been living under a rock? The darker shades in this palette had good pigmentation applied dry and had a more low-level pearl sheen, while wet application yielded opaque coverage with a soft, metallic sheen. The texture was smooth, creamy, and blendable on my skin.
Rating: 8/10 Would I repurchase: Yes USD65
